Few studies have included patients with congenital heart disease or examined the factors unique to these patients. Results showed corticosteroids and anticoagulant use were contributing factors in the development of pressure injuries in children with congenital heart disease.Learners must complete the entire activity and the associated evaluation AND read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes.
